Designed by the famed Harry Winston for his eponymous house, this extravagant bracelet of diamonds and platinum is set with circular, navette and pear-shaped diamonds, held together by unobtrusive architecture. This preference to let the diamonds take focus instead of the metal mountings was typical of Winston's designs.  The tongue-clasp is constructed of white gold.
